OK, so I've been using Android Kitchen (URL provided) to modify other ROMS (not CM6 cuz the kitchen is not compatible) to add my own apps and whatnot. So I flash nightly about ever couple of days or so, and hate having to flash the core CM zip and then gapps then copy over my apps, and do mods that I like, etc.
Now you can do all of that in one shot here's how.
In this example, I will demonstrate adding Gapps, change density of LCD, and add my own apps to /system/app (note, this might prevent market from auto update on your apps).
1. Download nightly zip
2. Extract it using your favorite zip program
3. You should get a directory (if not unzip it into a directory) of CM6.
To change LCD Density:
4. go into /system/ folder and open build.prop and look for "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change the value to some'n you like. I have mine at 170 instead of 240 (default)
5. Save the file and do a chmod 755 system/build.prop
Note: I'm not sure if step 5 matters but I thought I would put it back to original state when it was found in the archive.
To Add Gapps:
6. Download Gapps zip file
7. Extract to a directory other than the ROM directory
8. Go into system folder and copy over all the respective files in the folders into CM6 corresponding folder. For example: Gapps => /system/app/Vending.apk then you will copy that apk into /CM6_extracted_folder/app/ and so on so forth.
To add your own apps:
9. Simply add all apks into /CM6_extracted_folder/app/
10. Do a chmod -R 755 /CM6_extracted_folder/app/
Note: same note as in step #5.
Putting it all together:
11. Now create an zip archive with your favorite zip app
12. Add all the contents of /CM6_extracted_folder/ into the archive. NOT the /CM6_extracted_folder/ folder itself but everything underneath it.
13. IMPORTANT: DO NOT set any compression rate, just add it as normal rate (default in most app). I tried it with diff. compression rate and recovery flash have hard time reading it.
After all of that you should have the following folder structure in your archive:
boot.img
META-INF
system
If you don't see it like that then redo ur archive.
Now you can transfer the file over to sdcard and flash it all in one sweep.
If you really want to get fancy, you can write script to automate all of this.
Just want to share some modded apps and framework, all stock only a bit more flat.
Apps are for stock based 4.1.2 roms, results are similar to latest Touchwiz versions.
Apps may FC at first start, that's why they need to be restarted once modded, then they will launch as usual.

Mod will apply on default actionbar background in apps that use it (Settings, My Files, Messaging, Xposed, etc..) and system dialogs.
Some others sammy app doesn't follow default backgroud rules for actionbar, so they need to be modded individually, like Phone, Clock, Calculator, etc.. I'll add them in the next posts.

Anyone is free to share better mirrors, I'll add them to OP.
Upon overwriting the framework-res.apk with the new one, I softbricked my S3.
Required a recovery restore and system format. Where did I go wrong?

Since you're overwriting a N7000 framework on a i9300 I'm not surprised about that.
"CAUTION: Do a nandroid backup" is written in big red letters in the op so i guess is reading what you did wrong.

2.
Code:
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
3. decompile framework-res.apk
4. ovverride anim folder and animator folder with the one i provided in attatchment below
5. recompile
6. put the 'new' framework-res.apk on internal sd card
7. use any root explorer and replace framework-res.apk located in /system/framework/framework-res.apk
8. set permissions to rw-r-r
9. reboot into recovery and wipe cache, and dalivik cache and then reboot into system
10. done
note :
decompile recompile the easy way thanks to @littlejoelgriffo :
Now is the important part. Install Winrar Then open the .apk by right clicking the file -> open with -> WinRar. Now you can look around the .apk file. Find a file inside the .apk you wish to edit. (In my case I'm going to navigate to res -> mipmap-hdpi -> ic_launcher_settings.png). Just drag the file from the .apk and edit to your liking.
NOTE: It is recommended never to completely take everything out of the .apk and then put it all back in. Just do one file at a time.
Then when your finished, select the old file in the .apk and press the delete button. Now drag in the new edited file into where you found it. Easy!
have fun
